Extra attention is needed
It is important for the nodes to have there system clocks synchronized. If they get too far out of sync it affects their ability to form consensus.
The timestamp reported by a node during an authenticated
validator-info
call indicates the node's system time. A comparison of the time differences between all of the nodes should be performed. When a clock skew of more than a few seconds (actual time TBD) a warning report (in thewarnings
list) should be generated.This is to address NTP time sync discussions here; #24 (comment)
The implementation should build on the analysis plugin once merged; #26
